Why You Need Scratch Resistant Lenses

A technology first developed by NASA, scratch resistant lenses feature a high-tech coating that prevents abrasions. At Maui Jim, we believe premium sunglasses should be durable, and that’s why scratch resistant lenses are a key feature of our designs. In addition to being scratch- and shatter-resistant, our PolarizedPlus2® lenses block 100% of UV light, manage 95% of HEV light, eliminate glare, and provide sumptuous, true colors, exceptional contrast, and rich details.

Scratches Cause Added Eye Fatigue

At Maui Jim, our goal in designing state-of-the-art eyewear is to give you the best outdoor experience possible. Eliminating glare and blocking UV rays help fight eye fatigue, which can cause you to limit your time in nature. Dirty or scratched lenses can also be a factor that increases eye fatigue. Polarized sunglasses resistant to scratches provide a vibrant, unblemished view into your world. Stay outside longer, take in striking natural colors, and protect your vision with next-gen polarized lenses.

Scratches are Unsightly

Even if they don’t affect your vision, scratches just look bad. They can completely tarnish the stylish look of your new retro cat-eye sunglasses, or disrupt the clean, modern lines on your new pair of wraparounds. Great sunglasses are an investment that should last for years, but one bad scratch can render them unwearable. When you choose polarized scratch resistant sunglasses, you’re choosing eyewear that will last for years. From the beach in the summer, to a snow-covered ski slope in the winter, and everything in between, glare-defeating polarized scratch resistant lenses will allow you to see your world in a whole new light.

An Active Lifestyle Requires Performance Sunglasses

If you lead an active life, you know that mistakes happen. Wipeouts, slips, unexpected collisions; these things are just a part of the fun, but they can also present opportunities for lens cracks and scratches. Whether you’re into extreme sports, or just like a long bike ride through the scenic countryside, choose scratch-resistant lenses that you know you can depend on when the action heats up. They’ll last longer, and you’ll get more enjoyment out of your favorite activities.

We Take Our Cues From the Sun

Seeing a need for a lens technology that would do justice to the lush and vivid tropical scenery of Hawaii, Maui Jim developed our patented PolarizedPlus2™ lenses. We are always finding ways to reveal more of the world’s true colors while protecting your eyes from the powerful rays of the sun. In fact, our optic technology is designed for the strongest sun in the world. Inspired by the beauty and culture of Hawaii, it’s our mission to spread aloha through vivid color, clarity, and detail. See the difference that scratch-resistant lenses can make for your out-of-doors experience!
